Dietary glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) have been examined in relation to the risk of T2D in multiple prospective cohort studies. Previous meta-analyses indicate significant relations but consideration of causality has been minimal. Here, the results of our recent meta-analyses of prospective cohort studies of 4 to 26-y follow-up are interpreted in the context of the nine Bradford-Hill criteria for causality, that is: (1) Strength of Association, (2) Consistency, (3) Specificity, (4) Temporality, (5) Biological Gradient, (6) Plausibility, (7) Experimental evidence, (8) Analogy, and (9) Coherence. These criteria necessitated referral to a body of literature wider than prospective cohort studies alone, especially in criteria 6 to 9. In this analysis, all nine of the Hill’s criteria were met for GI and GL indicating that we can be confident of a role for GI and GL as causal factors contributing to incident T2D. In addition, neither dietary fiber nor cereal fiber nor wholegrain were found to be reliable or effective surrogate measures of GI or GL. Finally, our cost–benefit analysis suggests food and nutrition advice favors lower GI or GL and would produce significant potential cost savings in national healthcare budgets. The high confidence in causal associations for incident T2D is sufficient to consider inclusion of GI and GL in food and nutrient-based recommendations. Keywords: causation; diabetes; glycemic index; glycemic load; dietary fiber; alcohol; cohort studies; epidemiology; meta-analysis; public health 1. Introduction Preventing type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a major goal of the World Health Organization, the International Diabetes Federation and many national organizations around the globe. There is scientific consensus that modifiable lifestyle choices influence a person’s risk of developing T2D. Known risk factors include energy intake, dietary fat, refined carbohydrate, refined grains, alcohol, dietary fiber, whole grains, overweight and obesity, physical activity and smoking [1]. It is possible that consuming diets in which the carbohydrate is too high in glycemic index (GI) or load (GL) may also constitute an increased risk, but the case for causality and the appropriate recommendations to include in public health guidelines are less certain. In the present context, GI reflects the glycemic impact of the carbohydrates in a diet (irrespective of quantity) while GL represents the overall glycemic impact taking into account both quantity and quality of carbohydrate. While it is established that lowering of fasting hyperglycemia can reduce both the risk of insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction [2–4], it is questioned whether decreasing postprandial glycemia has similar effects. Moreover, it is controversial whether choosing lower GI or GL foods can reduce day-long postprandial glycemia. Thus, the question of cause-and-effect relationships between T2D and GI and GL remains. Here, we examine causality according to Bradford-Hill criteria [5], which is a recognized tool for interpreting both observational and interventional evidence, and the case for making dietary attributes (e.g., GI and GL) part of dietary recommendations [6–9]. We briefly include a cost–benefit consideration because this is also relevant to the justification for advising on a change of dietary habits within a population [10]. Critical to this inquiry is our updated systematic review with meta-analyses [11]. Nutrients 2019, 11, 1436 3 of 34 2. Methods 2.1. Bradford Hill-Criteria The Bradford-Hill criteria, otherwise known as Hill’s criteria for causation, are a group of guidelines that can be useful for providing evidence of a causal relationship between a putative cause and an effect, and were established by the English epidemiologist Sir Austin Bradford Hill in 1965 [5]. The criteria fall under headings or viewpoints: strength of association (from meta-analyses where possible), consistency of association, specificity, temporality, biological gradient (dose-dependency), plausibility, experimental evidence, analogy, and coherence. These criteria with original definitions are shown in Table1 alongside the definitions as used in the assessment of causation in the present analysis. For simplicity, a score of 1 was given to each criterion fulfilled. Confidence in causation “the most likely [probable] interpretation“ as stated by Hill [6] was considered to increase as the sum of criteria fulfilled increased from 1 to 9; scores of 1 to 3 are considered low, 4 to 6 moderate, and 7 to 9 high. 2.2. Biological Gradient (Dose-Response) Analysis Biological gradient (dose-response) meta-analyses for both GI and GL were undertaken using the generalized least-squares method for trend estimation of the dose-response data [12] (Stata software version 11.2 SE, 2009; StataCorp LP) using the pool first option [13], which is a one-step procedure. These were termed local dose-response analyses rather than the global dose-response analyses in [11] and were additional analyses to those undertaken in [11]. They differ in that local dose response meta-analyses have maximally overlapping exposures such that the combined study result gives the weighted mean RR within jurisdictions rather than across jurisdictions (areas of land having particular forms of law).

    Methods for Measuring Risk for Type 2 Diabetes in Youth: The Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) Melinda E. Chen, MD1, Rebecca S. Aguirre, MD, PhD2, and Tamara S. Hannon, MD, MS 1University of Nebraska Medical Center; 2Indiana University School of Medicine Corresponding Author: Tamara S. Hannon 705 Riley Hospital Drive, Room 5960, Indianapolis, IN 46202 Email: [email protected] Keywords: insulin sensitivity; β-cell function; prediabetes; adolescent; pediatric Abstract Purpose of review: The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is used both in clinical practice and research to assess glucose tolerance. In addition, the OGTT is utilized for surrogate measures of insulin sensitivity and the insulin response to enteral glucose, and has been widely applied in the evaluation of β-cell dysfunction in obesity, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes. Here we review the use of the OGTT and the OGTT-derived indices for measurement of risk markers for type 2 diabetes in youth. Recent findings: Advantages of using the OGTT for measures of diabetes risk include its accessibility and the incorporation of physiological contributions of the gut-pancreas axis in the measures of insulin response to glucose. Mathematical modeling expands the potential gains from the OGTT in physiology and clinical research. Disadvantages include individual differences in the rate of glucose absorption that modify insulin responses, imperfect control of the glycemic stimulus, and poor intraindividual reproducibility. ___________________________________________________________________ This is the author's manuscript of the article published in final edited form as: Chen, M.

  • GRAINS of TRUTH for DIABETES by Jeanne Brown, RD,CDE, LD
    GRAINS OF TRUTH FOR DIABETES By Jeanne Brown, RD,CDE, LD Avoiding pasta to lower your blood sugar? Wondering how to identify whole grains? Does the glycemic index (GI) of grains matter? Here are some grains of truth for diabetes. Whole grains provide fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and in general have a lower GI which reduces the risk of diabetes. Researchers have found a 30 % lower risk of diabetes with high fiber diets from grains. People who eat at least 2 servings per week of brown rice have a 11% lower risk of Type 2 Diabetes than those that eat less. The risk of getting Type 2 Diabetes was 2 ½ times greater for people who had the highest glycemic load and lowest fiber intake in the study. The GI measures how a carbohydrate- containing food raises blood sugar. The GI ranges from 0 to 100. The higher the number, the more likely it will raise blood sugars. The GI is also affected by how the food is processed, how it is cooked and the ripeness of fruit. Pasta cooked just until it is firm and chewy has a lower GI than overcooked pasta. A ripe banana will spike blood sugar more than an unripe banana. Tips: Look for the word “WHOLE” grain. “Whole” ensures they used the entire grain which includes the fiberous bran, and nutrient dense germ. “Wheat bread” or “wheat flour” is not necessarily whole grain unless it states “whole wheat" in the beginning of the ingredient list. Products such as: 100% whole wheat bread, shredded wheat cereal and Triscuit crackers are 100 % whole grains.

  • A Dozen Tips for Better Blood Sugar Control: Glycemic Index And
    A Dozen Tips for Better Blood Sugar Control: Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load Human bodies depend on a steady supply of glucose (blood sugar) as their principal fuel, in order for muscles to stretch and contract, nerves to fire, brains to function—and so much more. Glucose comes from carbohydrates, so the quality and quantity of carbohydrates we eat hugely impacts our energy levels and overall health. Too little glucose, and we starve many bodily functions (especially the brain, which uses 11–20% of the glucose we produce). Too much, and our body scrambles to produce enough insulin to process all that blood sugar—and we may develop heart disease, eye, kidney, and nerve damage. Ideally, our food delivers a steady stream of just the right amount of glucose. But how do we distinguish foods, meals, and diets that raise our blood sugar too high and too fast from those that dole out their fuel slowly and steadily to support good health? Understanding glycemic index, glycemic load and glycemic response can help. Glycemic Index (GI) ranks the quality of individual carbohydrate-rich foods on a scale of 1–100 by measuring how glucose levels rise after someone eats an amount of that food containing 50 grams of carbohydrate. Foods with a low GI score (under 55) provide steady fuel to support energy levels and overall health, while those with a high GI score (70 and up) are likely to provide an unhealthy quick rush of blood sugar followed by a sharp crash. Glycemic Load (GL) combines quality and quantity, allowing us to rank how the typical serving size of a food affects blood sugar.

The role of glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) in the control of the T2DM remain controversial. However, a number of mechanisms have been proposed through which dietary GI and/or GL can reduce the risk of T2DM, but all are suggestive. So, the present review is aimed to investigate the current understanding of the effect of GI and/or GL on the risk of T2DM.PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane library and several other databases were searched up to December 2018 to identify and select relevant studies. Research conducted using human are only considered eligible. Among the eighteen prospective cohort studies, eight have found no significant association of dietary GI and/or GL with T2DM risk, six studies revealed an association and four studies identified positive association only with GI but not with the GL. Among the ten interventional studies, only two indicated that the risk of T2DM increased with the increment of GI and GL. In conclusion, research on the glycemic response of foods needs to be expanded in order to get a broad and clear knowledge which will provide assurance that how dietary GI and/or GL have play role on the risk of T2DM.

DeFronzo,4 and Insulin Secretion for Adipose John P. Kirwan1,2,5 Insulin Resistance: An Index of b-Cell Function in Obese Adults DOI: 10.2337/dc13-3011 OBJECTIVE The hyperbolic relationship between insulin secretion and sensitivity has been used to assess in vivo b-cell function (i.e., the disposition index). The disposition index emphasizes the importance of taking into account both skeletal muscle and hepatic insulin resistance to depict insulin secretion. However, we propose that adipose tissue insulin resistance also needs to be accounted for when character- izing glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) because elevated plasma free fatty acids (FFAs) impair b-cell function. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS To characterize the adipose disposition index, we used [1-14C] palmitate infusion to determine basal FFA turnover rate/adipose insulin resistance and an oral glu- cose tolerance test to characterize the first (i.e., 0–30 min) and second phase (i.e., 60–120 min) of GSIS.

    Appendix E-2.27: Evidence Portfolio Appendix E2.27: Evidence Portfolio Part D. Chapter 2: Dietary Patterns, Foods and Nutrients, and Health Outcomes What is the relationship between dietary patterns and measures of body weight or obesity? Conclusion Statement: The DGAC concurs with the 2013 AHA/ACC/TOS Guideline for the Management of Overweight and Obesity1 that strong evidence demonstrates that, preferably as part of a comprehensive lifestyle intervention carried out by multidisciplinary teams of professionals or nutrition professionals, overweight and obese adults can achieve weight loss through a variety of dietary patterns that achieve an energy deficit. Clinically meaningful weight losses that were achieved ranged from 4 to 12 kg at 6-month follow-up. Thereafter, slow weight regain is observed, with total weight loss at 1 year of 4 to 10 kg and at 2 years of 3 to 4 kg. However, some dietary patterns may be more beneficial in the long-term for cardiometabolic health. DGAC Grade: Strong The DGAC concurs with the NEL Dietary Patterns Systematic Review Project2 that moderate evidence indicates dietary patterns that are higher in vegetables, fruits, and whole grains; include seafood and legumes; are moderate in dairy products (particularly low and non-fat dairy) and alcohol; lower in meats (including red and processed meats), and low in sugar-sweetened foods and beverages, and refined grains are associated with favorable outcomes related to healthy body weight (including lower BMI, waist circumference, or percent body fat) or risk of obesity. Components of the dietary patterns associated with these favorable outcomes include higher intakes of unsaturated fats and lower intakes of saturated fats, cholesterol, and sodium.
